21 Vintage Poster Designs from Around the World

Here are 21 vintage poster designs from a few different decades, and from all over the world. It’s amazing and great inspiration to see how they can differ, yet be eerily similar as well. Many designers that follow the recent trends will notice modern web design is straying back to the classic days of graphic design.

Thanks, although its a small showcase I’ve always been in love with vintage posters, so they are a great deal of inspiration for me personally. It’s amazing to see the design techniques that are used..and exciting to see a lot of them coming back into style today!

I agree. It is interesting to see how the techniques used in vintage posters can be applied to modern advertising and poster design. The Saci poster designs seem to do the best job of conveying their message to viewers who know nothing about the subject matter. The others all require some previous knowledge of the product for the viewer to gain anything, which is a big mistake if the purpose is to gain new clients/customers.
